SEGA, Capcom, Namco fans - rejoice! Your prayers have been answered - crossover tactical RPG Project X Zone is coming to Europe. And you have Namco Bandai to thank for that one. It will be hitting the Nintendo 3DS this Summer.
The game, which currently has a working title, will feature 50 playable characters from 29 game franchises across the 'Big Three'. Mega Man X, Valkyria Chronicles, Tekken, Space Channel 5 and Resident Evil are among the titles represented here. It's essentially a potential fanboy/girl's wet dream come true.
Here's how the story goes, and it's your typical crossover fare - a rift in time and space opens a doorway that brings together all kinds of universes. You've got to find out the cause of the rift and stop the villains from each universe from working together to destroy everything. Players explore the game world using Pair Units (teams of two characters), which can be combined with an additional character to help in battle with support attacks.
To say we're excited about this game is a bit of an understatement. We'll have more details as the game reaches its European release soon.
